    Nine Stones 2005 Shiraz (McLaren Vale)

    With its supple tannins and expansive mouthfeel, this wine has some real positives working for it, but there's also a definite clove and rubber edge to the aromas and the flavors show more leather and spice than fresh fruit. Turns crisp on the finish.
